    Mother's Day is coming up this weekend in the United States. I bought my mother a batch of climbing roses to plant since she loves her garden!

    Do you plan to celebrate Mother's Day with your family? How is your relationship with your ma? Even if there is no holiday like this in your country you can still share how you feel about your mom in this thread. Any good memories?

    If you have Mother's Day but it has already passed in your area then lemme know if you did anything with your mum. I love my parents :)

    If your mother is no longer with you you can still share any meaningful experiences you had with your mom, or a mother-like figure like you appreciate like a step mom, aunt, grandmother, mother-in-law etc.

    This will be the first time in three years I can even think of celebrating mother's day, since my mom passed away three years ago. However, I celebrated it with my stepmom this year (since she works on Sunday) and we went out for a nice dinner. I plan to get her a nice card as well. :)
     
    Yes, we celebrate every year! My dad is away on holiday this year but we still went to the effort of getting her a gift, preparing a nice breakfast and we are thinking of going out to eat lunch. I think over the years, my relationship with my mum has changed as I've become more appreciative and grateful of what she has done for our family. My mum is one of the most hardworking people I know and I admire her for her ability to achieve whatever she puts her mind into whether that is her career, or her own interests. She is the one who taught me a lot about having a strong work ethic, leading a fulfilling life etc. and she is also a great mother despite how I felt in the past. I think I have become closer to her recently in feeling more comfortable to talk to and I know she really cares for all of us in terms of being supportive of what we do. Sometimes she can be strict but I don't think she has ever crossed any boundaries, and I know she wants the best for us. I feel really grateful towards my mum and I hope we can show that in not only Mother's Day but always.
     
    I am lucky enough to still have my mom with me and I always do something for Mother's Day, even if it was as simple as drawing a picture of her when I was a tot.

    My relationship with my mom is fun. She is an artist, and was that hip modern, free-spirited parent with the cool hairstyle, bohemian clothes and artsy jewelry. She lived in many different countries and has interesting experiences from her travels to pass on. She is a former teacher so she is good at talking to kids and explaining things, answering any question I had, being patient and she enjoyed reading to me. She could make a story from a book come to life.

    She introduced me to volunteer work, marched me to the library, put me on my first bike, took me to art musuems, science exhibits and gardens. She taught me about the world by getting out and exploring it. She really loved her job of being a mom, and if we weren't the richest people, she was very generous with knowledge abd love.

    She's a kind, generous lady who loves animals. She is very beautiful physically and inside, and really did her best to build my self-esteem up, telling me I was smart, and noticing whatever did, coming to my school plays and dance recitals, helping me with my homework, rewarding me for good grades, telling me I was beautiful. I was really lucky.

    She and I are close, and always have been a little more like a big and little sister. We can talk on the phone for hours or spend the weekend with eachother watching some rented movies binging on icecream. I don't know what I would do without her, and wish her many years more of life.

    I plan to try and celebrate but my relationship with my mom worsens the longer I'm around her. She's very type A and something of an attack helicopter parent, whereas I'm very type B and don't really like having my privacy invaded. So we'll see. The past two weeks with her, we've argued pretty much every day, so hopefully we can have a Mother's Day without incident, but if the past years are anything to go by, it likely won't be a peaceful event.
     
    I got my mom a new smoothie machine since her old one broke and she drinks them almost daily. On Sunday I plan to make her a chocolate cake and cook dinner! Normally we'd go out but I think this will be more fun since restaurants are so crowded on mother's day.
     
    I think my mom's working both Saturday and Sunday so probably not much time to do something with her then. Best I can do is take her out after that, but I think she won't mind since she's not that big on Mother's Day anyways.

    As for my relationship with my mom, I think we have a pretty good relationship. There are times where we don't agree on many things and I don't approve some of her choices, but we eventually settle in having normal conversations and she has done a lot for me which I'm grateful for.
     
    Well.. dad is gonna use the new grill we bought to make some hamburgers so mom isn't gonna cook.. I'll uh.. probably give her lots of hugs.. Maybe try and make a card.. I can't go out and buy anything, no money/can't drive.. but we can still celebrate fine I'm sure :o
     
    I live a state away from my mom, so I'll call her at some point in the afternoon. I actually have stuff to talk about this year so I'm not dreading it! I hate phone calls and I'm just so bad about keeping up conversation with anyone because my life is usually pretty boring. So Mother's Day is like the only day I call her whoops.

    I'd say I have a pretty decent relationship with my mom. It's just hard because we're so far away neither of us want to call the other -- I suspect Mom is as bad as I am with phone calls. And I forget to text her too. And just... let's just say if you are not in my day-to-day life, I'm bad at communicating with you, even if we're friends. :(
     
    My mom passed away ten years ago, so I don't really do much to celebrate Mother's Day on my side of the family. However, I have a wonderful mother-in-law who we always spend time with. :)
     
    This picture behind the gate is a peek into my mom's garden. She works in it every day.

    In the spoiler tag are the roses I ordered for her garden. I didn't take those pictures, they are from the websites, but it shows what the climbing roses will grow up to look like. Right now they are teeny in pots.

    I went to lunch with my mom and dad today for Mother's Day so she doesn't have to travel anywhere tomorrow. I might try to arrange flowers to be delivered as a nice surprise though. My relationship with my mom is pretty solid :D

    I don't know if we'll do anything with my boyfriend's mom tomorrow, but I guess we'll see. :thonk:
     
    Unfortunately I won't see my mother tomorrow for mothers day, so hopefully next weekend I can and take her out to brunch or something!
     
    for mothers day we didn't really do anything. my mom had to do laundry so i helped her out with that when i could. but we did go to my aunts the day before and went to the beach nearby and went shopping and whatnot. i dunno. my relationship with my mom lately has been strained. i don't like to think of it that way, but.. lately she hasn't been as supportive of me as i want her to be.

    but oh well. i think the years before for mothers day we didn't do much either, whether it be for money reasons or just my mom wanting to relax for mothers day.
     
    I spent Mother's Day helping my dad move stuff from their storage unit to their short term rental house. They've sold their current house and will be building a new house on some land but still need a place to live in the mean time and don't want to be paying for the storage unit at the end of the month now that its primary purpose - getting stuff out of the house to make it easier to prep for showings - has been served).
     
    I bought her medication for her ear infection.
    She's been fighting a nasty cold along with one infection after another.
